Aluminum drive shaft... Give you the same feeling as a lightweight flywheel less spinning weight=quicker rev and quicker spinning? or just less weight

It is unsprung weight, so it cant hurt to lose weight, but i dont think it allows the engine to rev faster.

Its less rotating mass so in theory it will take less power to rev up so it will rev a little quicker. You probably wouldn't notice it. Its kind of like taking of the smog pump, it frees up a few ponies and drops some weight but you really don't feel a difference.
